Protein Interactions—on the Frontier of Biochemistry and Biophysics
This special issue belongs to the section "Medicinal Chemistry".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Working on protein interactions can be extremely difficult, especially when working on metal–protein or metal-mediated protein–protein interactions. So many steps need to be taken into account: proper purification, choosing the right buffers, the right techniques to get as much data as possible, etc. Sometimes, it is helpful to design the analogs of protein fragments to “dig” deeper into metal–protein interaction. The aim of this Special Issue is to show the advantage of the collaboration of molecular biologists and researchers working in the field of the biochemistry and biophysics, to reflect the most reliable data and natural conditions of protein interactions. Recent advances with multidisciplinary approaches in understanding protein–protein and metal–protein interactions will be particularly welcomed.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
